Why doesn't old code from old games work?

I may get downvoted for this question, but I was just wondering why the code of most old games is broken most of the time, or atleast requires fixing of the scripts.

It is because some years ago, filtering enabled was added. Which means any changes on the client will not replicate to the server. Old games used this to make the games work. But now, since the client can't change the server without remoteevents, the code won't work anymore as only the client can see the change.

It is also because new ROBLOX updates gets pushed out and thus it can break the script.
